Englert is cool, but none of the Alien prints really did anything for me. The Ortiz Alien (not his Aliens) and the Kelly are probably my favorite 2 and none of the releases today changed that for me personally.

What are the big summer releases other than Civil War?
I thought the Vance Kelly one was a bit too busy. And I want Alien and Aliens prints with the characters. I didn't like the color choices either on that one.

I only have a few of Mark Englert's prints. I still remember the trouble with him. But I guess I look past it because I like the few prints I own so much.

I'd love to see more video game work from him, maybe something for No Mans Sky, Uncharted, and Mortal Kombat would be dreams from me.

I remember posting about the missed opportunities for so many prints Mark Englert could have worked on. Especially the videogame ones. He could make incredible Ico and Shadow of the Colossus prints of the landscape.

Perhaps collecting the weekly releases but when good prints come up, I would think many would be interested. That Mark Englert Aliens is probably as close as a fan will get to a matte painting from Aliens. As someone who loves that movie I had to get it.

It was tempting. But a bit too clever. I didn't like the Alien skull in the rocks.
I'm thinking his Indy might be a miss too with the time it's taking to release that.

The number of times I come in here to see people talking about which variant is their favourite or if a piece is no good/good and have no idea what they're talking about is crazy... Post some links or pictures guys  |
I'll post links when they announce them. I assumed people were checking Expresso Beans as much as me. I check it midday to scan for new images usually during the middle of the week.
Here are the Alien Day prints from Bottleneck Gallery. All sold out now though.

There were ones from Mondo as well. Check their Twitter.

Also I saw some from Acme I believe. I can't remember the link right now.
